Goodnight Mommy “Extreme Cinema”

Even though its limited theatrical is coming September 11th, the German horror/thriller Goodnight Mommy has already built up a reputation as being extremely unsettling, with most of the reviewers offering heavy praise.

Ryan Lattanzio wrote after the Fantastic Fest screening:

“While garden variety American horror movies have no problem turning children into harbingers of evil, “Goodnight Mommy” takes the unflinching unrest a step further to suggest that children could actually be inherently malevolent. “Goodnight Mommy” is a must-see for fans of extreme cinema and those movie-lovers who get off on taut editing, delicately placed sound design and tightly wound storytelling.”
